riawin goofin someone picks up their phone and makes a call. the other’s phone rings & they know what’s going on but they pick up anyways & have a 20 sec conversation from like 4 to 8 ft away at most which is about having lunch or whatever
#the perfect premise: having adjacent desks whether they're actually pushed together or spaced out a bit#this would never happen b/c nobody in billions really engages in any Silliness. simply not the way#rian is Humorous On Purpose but not quiiite in this way necessarily? not re: Initiating something like this anyways#she might; but like sure she'll be spontaneous & weird on purpose but mostly for her own sake / amusement#and really we have hardly seen winston be Humorous on purpose. lemme just run through the winston scenes mentally lmao#okay nope he never really like Does A Joke lmao. he gets snarky if he's on the defensive / pressed or pressing but that's abt it#closest i think he comes to saying smthing with the intent that it might be received with humor by someone else is @ taylor twice#''look at him: trying'' in 5x03 & ''Q is for Quantitative babey'' in 4x12 which does get a :) from them & more from others#''remember when winston called taylor 'baby' and it was the most warmly received thing he ever said. i remember'' - nothingunrealistic(tm)#& he too can be Spontaneous & Weird but mostly just being himself in the moment lol. vs rian being able to switch back to [following the#social rules] if she wants....winston's just always being ''weird'' & sometimes engaging in the Spontaneous Elevated / Worked Up behavior#which Humored rian there in 5x05 / 5x06 but he was hardly going ''i'm goofin around to create a fun interaction'' with it lol#but; say; if it was Established b/w them that interacting w/each other is mutually enjoyed / rian enjoys being humored; then...#we don't know how he might try to be fun/ny on purpose....seen that unique [i'm being very determinedly pleasant to interact with] effort in#5x07 there....anything goes. just introduced to rian still and never really introduced in great depth to winston yet so gotta glean things#or completely speculate b/c there's things that are utter unknowns like [what's he do outside work except math meetup] or like#would he engage in involved jokin around w/someone? how? and so forth. ppl are so rarely jokin around around here....#winston billions#riawin#even more rarely trying to make someone else laugh as a way to get along with them lmao. repartee or die

TAYLOR: You’ll do this every time we go head-to-head.
LANGSTRAAT: It’s my new mission.
TAYLOR: This isn’t how you normally do business. Or speak.
LANGSTRAAT: You’re exceptional. You merited an exception. I have learned, in dealing with people, to be disarming. I smile, I’m polite, because I was loved as a child and am genuinely a decent human being. But somewhere during my early Oakland days, I built an affinity for the silver and black. The Raiders. So when I’m in — it’s win, baby, win — and when we don’t, we beat the shit out of the opposing fans. Don’t make me do that to you.
—————
DEV: Oscar, I’m sorry. How do you not go with someone willing to do that for you?
LANGSTRAAT: Well, because if they’re willing to do that for you today, they’re willing to do it to you later. But that’s not something you can hear from me. You’ll just have to learn that for yourself.
TAYLOR: Oscar: Al Davis is dead. And the Raiders haven’t won anything in a decade. So go back to the bay. And heal, baby, heal.
